SUMMARY: Drafts of the Financial Statements and Independent Auditors’ Report (Report) and Board Communication Letter (required communication letter from the Auditors to the Board) for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2012 have been received from the District’s external auditors, Hayashi & Wayland. The documents are attached to this report and will also be posted on the District’s website after it has been approved by the Board. This was the third year of a three-year contract with Hayashi & Wayland to audit the District’s financial records.
The auditors have issued a clean opinion on the District’s financial statements. The statements show that revenues for the year totaled $5,089,577 and expenditures were $6,638,837, resulting in a deficit (use of reserves) of $1,549,260. This actual use of reserves compared to the budgeted deficit of $1,849,200 for funding the Aquifer Storage and Recovery (ASR) Project on a pay-as-you-go basis. The District’s net assets decreased by approximately $364,902 during the year, largely due to the use of reserves to fund District operations after the loss of User Fee revenues. The Administrative Committee met with representatives from Hayashi and Wayland and reviewed the Auditors’ Report and the Board Communication Letter at its February 20, 2013 meeting.
A Management Letter may be issued in conjunction with the Report to offer constructive suggestions for improvements on matters that came to the auditors’ attention in connection with the audit, however, such letter was not deemed necessary by Hayashi & Wayland in connection with the audit for this fiscal year.
RECOMMENDATION: District staff recommends that the Board review and accept the Financial Statements and Independent Auditors’ Report for the year ending June 30, 2012. The Administrative Committee reviewed draft report February 20, 2013 and voted 3 to 0 to recommend approval of the staff recommendation.
